Thank you Angels!
Your new and recurring donations are giving us so much hope! Thank you for helping us pay our teachers and by providing funds to purchase meaningful, engaging supplies for the classroom.
Our Little by Little Campaign in April was a success! Our goal was to raise $600 in new donations. Thanks to you Angels, we collected $1,490 in donations to which GlobalGiving matched, bringing us to a total of $1,736. raised. With donations raised in this campaign, we can pay our electricity bill for 4 months and purchase pencils and other classroom materials for 3 classrooms.
We currently have 4 paid preschool teachers and two volunteer teachers for 6 classrooms. Each classroom has about 20 children. We also provide full-day childcare for babies in 2 rooms. A couple of years ago, we had to cut back the number of teachers and could not help as many children. We are grateful for the increase in donations that has allowed us increase our class numbers.
Volunteer Teachers- In 2024, we want to raise enough in donations to continue paying our current staff and to pay our two volunteer teachers. Our volunteer teachers love working with our organization and they deserve to be paid for their commitment. Paying our teachers shows them respect for the diligent and hard work they do. Let’s keep our teachers!
The exchange rate of American dollar to pesos has dropped over the past year. This plus inflation has brought an added challenge to fully funding our mission. Please consider increasing your recurring donation or make a one-time contribution to help us meet expenses for the remainder of 2024.
Muchas Gracias,
Tammy Kjos
